I hate it when people use really dumb internet slang to make it sound like they're "talking slang". like I have this friend who talks in AIM like ... "aiiht, wazap...i got dis probem wit my compeuter", and it takes a couple minutes to try to figure out what he's saying. The funny thing is that he talks absolutly nothing like that in real life.

It'd be interesting to see the results of a WYSIWYG vs text webbuilding. Or how about Unix vs Windows? The two biggest arguments that appear ALL the time here... well, perhaps not so much since recent 'happenings'.

I've placed my vote, has to be music on web-sites, it always makes me jump for some reason.

With Flash sites you expect sound effects but 'normal' sites with music wind me up!

It was hard to choose. I went with background music, pop-ups, flash only sites and typos. There were many truly annoying things to choose from on that list, but those are the ones that I most often see on otherwise good, professional looking sites.
